It say clearly in the listing that they will fit over 8.4 disk brakes and bigger, so i would say yes! and if not throw them back for a refund. I must admit, i am tempted myself with these.

They are not chrome, they are alloy and easily treated and painted to the colour of your choice. I would have mine powder coated in black and would look Fab on Yoda.

I second that... One of the most fugly wheels ever made, for Minis :X

Also... "Offset: -15" scrub radius anyone? :D

Of course they are made of aluminum. But chromed.
Chrome wheels ARE chromed wheels.
No matter if they are made of chromed steel, alloy or cheese.

And chrome(d) wheels suck! And I don't think it's easy to paint over chrome...

It also says even more clearly in the listing, "chromed".

I agree with Mini-jon and Asphalt, I think those are vile. Each to their own though.
